Lucy Show, The -...undone

Almost 25 years since its release, …undone, the 1985 debut by the London quartet The Lucy Show, remains an essential work in the British post-punk oeuvre. Produced by Steve Lovell (Blur, James) and Steve Power (Robbie Williams, Blur), …undone injects howling guitars and psychedelic flourishes into bittersweet pop songs with hook-laden choruses.At the time …undone was released, The Lucy Show was filling to capacity London venues like the Marquee Club and the Lyceum Ballroom. Across the Atlantic, the record landed at #1 on the U.S. college radio charts, with a tour across America soon to follow."Ephemeral (This Is No Heaven)" was the album’s first single, a song in which singer/guitarist/keyboardist Mark Bandola masterfully juxtaposes verses etched with sparsely situated guitar melodies and soaring choruses laden with lush backing vocals.But if "Ephemeral" is a composed, cautious courtship, "Resistance" is a torrid, frantic affair, sprinting out of the gate at 180 bpm with pulsating 1/8t
